    Samsung LE40B530 "FIX" for randomly changing channel, entering menu, turning off etc.

    Not the easiest thing to fix purely because of how fiddly it is but it is doable, you'll need to remove the button assembly and then free the PCB from the button housing, you will see 7 micro switches, these are the cause of the issue. Using a Stanley knife blade, very carefully prise off the metal retaining cover(go to the side and gently twist the tab, it will gently rise allowing for careful removal) once off be careful that you don't loose any of the components, there's the retaining clip, a plastic button and a very small metal disc pressure pad(dome up). You'll see three points of contact, two outer and one centre, around these you may see what looks like a water mark, this is probably a form of corrosion and so needs scraping away, gently scrape away and clean with Isopropyl Alcohol freshening up the contacts at the same time, do this for all the buttons and it will cure the issue. I hope this is of some help to someone, good luck and thanks, Andy.

    I've had issues like this before caused by those cap sense buttons, I'm not a fan of them.
    Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
    For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

      Me neither, they feel cheap and considering the issue, are made so, why they corrode as they do I don't know but it is rectifiable, just fiddly, a pair of tweezers certainly helps.

        Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
        by spleenharvester
        Hi friends

        I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

        American Audio VLP1500 Distorting on one channel
        by dicky96
        Hi guys I have a VLP1500 amplifier here - one channels works fine and the other channel distorts even at low volume settings

        Protection and Clip LED are off

        There is something wrong with the BIAS voltages around T16 and T18 (in particular) on the bad channel

        I tested all diodes and transistors in this area in circuit with diode mode - both channels seem identical. Same in resistance mode across all the resistors here.

        The output DC voltages on pin1 and pin8 of the 5532D dual op amp at the input of each amplifier module are the same, and the audio...

        Hitachi V19B01922 Channel Tune problem
        by dicky96
        Hi Guys
        I have a customer who has two Hitachi TVs in his bar, one is the model in the thread title and the other is a larger screen but has the same setup menu

        He also has an LG TV, so three screens in the bar

        I installed three Satlink ST-6503 DVB-T Modulators
        This model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916553905.html

        These connect to three satellite receivers via HDMI cables and then connect to a 4 way RF Amp that connects to the TVs on aerial cable. There is no incoming terrestrial antenna. I set the channel ID on the modulators to...

        Supermicro X10DAX and Quad Channel
        by Logistics
        So my dilemma is that I can't seem to get my board to run in Quad Channel. I have an X10DAX with Dual E5 2690 v3's and originally it had four 16GB sticks of Samsung ECC. Figuring I needed to have a stick for each DIMM1 slot I purchased four more identical sticks of Samsung M393A2G40DB0-CPB. So, now I have eight 16GB sticks for a total of 128GB of RAM. When I install the ram so that Each DIMM1 slots is populated the system will not post even if I clear the CMOS, remove the battery, what-have-you. But according to what I'm reading in the Manual, which is admittedly not very clear, populating each...

        Single-channel antenna?
        by Hondaman
        Recently I switched from my Gray-Hoverman to the Antennas Direct ClearStream 4 MAX. Seems to work about as well as the old G-H in my attic (one-story ranch home), but the Antennas Direct unit can be mounted outside on my chimney if desired.

        I should mention that I was also using a 29-inch "T" shaped antenna for RF channel 11. I know you're not supposed to use TWO antennas unless they have the same length coaxial cable going into your combiner (and even then there might be problems). So I made sure the cables were equal length.

        Years ago I made a "T"...
